Is there any such thing as the perfect male?
Or is that all stuff from a fairytale?
But then you arrived and made me see
That you are utterly perfect for me
I love you and everything you are
From terrible joke to hidden scar
You for me, and I for you
Happy Anniversary – my love, so true.
Who’d have thought 10 years we’d make
A full decade without a break
You drive me nuts with the things you say
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
I’d be lost without you, you make me complete
Each day with my husband is a hidden treat
Here’s to another decade together
That’s if I’ve not lost my tether.
To my handsome and loving, sweet ball and chain
Like a lingering yet enjoyable pain
Having you I couldn’t ask for more
But when I married you, I married your snore
You put up with me when I’m upset and stressed
I lay out your clothes for you to get dressed
I’m very happy, it’s the perfect plan
And to me, my love, you’re the perfect man
Can you believe it’s been a whole year?
Since our wedding day filled with cheer
I thought that was the happiest day of my life…
But everyday I’m happy being your wife
With a ring, vows and a reception too
And then I get to spend all my days with you
The past year has been amazing so far
And I’ll always love you just as you are
I don’t think it could’ve happened otherwise
It was written on the stars from the start
It couldn’t have come as such a big surprise
When I’ve always felt it deep down in my heart
The universe had been conspiring
Craftily placing us like chess pieces
A hand pushing us; untiring
Into a game that never ceases
Anniversary Poems for Wife

With a woman as gracious and gorgeous as you
This year we’ve just breezed right through
You hold me up when I’m feeling down
And laugh when I’m acting like a clown
You offer advice and the best cups of tea
And you always see the best in me
If ‘soulmates’ do truly exist
Then I’m thankful for the first time we kissed
To a beautiful wife and forever friend
Who I vow to take care of until the end
You are kind, compassionate and caring too
I’ve never met anyone quite like you
In an effort to not sound too cliché
I am so lucky to wake up with you everyday
I can’t wait for many more years like this
Guaranteeing me a lifetime of bliss!
To the one and only world’s best wife
Who everyday improves my life
Having you is a gift like no other
And I’d never dream or wish for another
You’re open, you’re gentle and happy to just ‘be’
And you always see the best in me
I’m happier each day I spend with you
Almost as much as when I said ‘I do’.
Sometimes I wonder how life would be
If I hadn’t asked you to marry me
I’m so grateful we met on that memorable day
I’m a lucky guy that you smiled my way
You could have picked another with your beauty and grace
But you decided to settle with my smiling face
You’re beautiful, intelligent with a heart fit to burst
I’m just forever thankful that I got there first!
Anniversary Poems for Parents
An anniversary is a perfect occasion to convey your heartfelt joy and affection towards the two people who created you. Let your parents know how happy you are for them on this important day in their life with an anniversary poem and the gesture will not go unnoticed.
From family holidays to Sunday roasts
To precious days and special toasts
From camping trips in the rain
To driving each other completely insane
You two have made it through it all
And conquered problems big and small
Another year to add to the few
And we owe our blessed childhood to YOU!
When I was a teen and stuck in love
You both just fit like hand in glove
And that’s when I realized what true love is
Because you two really are the biz
You’re strong and patient, it’s clear to see
You had to be to put up with me!
So happy anniversary – I’ll shout it from the roof!
Because love IS real – and you’re living proof!
To a very quirky mum and dad
The best parents I could have had
You’re both as nuts as each other
maybe slightly more so mother…
But your love is endless and it glows so bright
Two happy souls that fit just right
I wish you happiness on this day
And that you have a wonderful anniversary!
Without being too complimentary…
YOU TWO COMPLETED HALF A CENTURY!
50 years of memories treasured
and undoubtedly plenty patience measured
You’ve grown together through life and love
With 5 decades going over and above
A perfect example of how to commit
Either that or it’s just too late to quit
Love is a force to be reckoned with
When it manages to reach its prime
When two lovers water it every day
Love grows and transcends the test of time
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad.

Who holds my hair when I get too drunk
I love you more and more each day
Especially when you offer to pay
You’re the best guy a young lady could want
I’m proud to sit opposite you in a restaurant
Here’s to another year going strong
Let’s hope I haven’t got it totally wrong!
Happy 1st Anniversary to a special man
A year today our story began
When we decided we wanted one another
And with love, I promised, that you I would smother
You’re great, you’re kind with a beautiful soul
A wonderful person on the whole
With so many good times we’ve shared this year
I can’t wait for more spent together, my dear
I can’t believe all the things we’ve done
Filled with music, laughter and endless fun
Each adventure, different from the last
With you I always have a blast
Happy anniversary to a very special guy
I’m awfully glad you caught my eye
You’re thoughtful, kind and gorgeous – don’t forget
And I can’t wait for all the adventures we haven’t done yet.
To a one and only kind of guy
The delicious apple of my eye
You’re smart and handsome and sexy too
I really think the world of you
I’m always glad you’re there for me
And offer so much advice for free
Happy anniversary, let’s get a bottle of wine
And I’ll lift a glass to you being ALL min
I was looking forward to
Living a story like that of my grandmother
And we were about to play that part—
Two forces gravitating towards each other
Not knowing that it could happen at any minute
My heart would beat like that of a hummingbird
Love was working its way to us
And play the role like in the stories I’d always heard

I feel a sense of pride
In raising a toast to that person
Around whom the fairy tale
Of my life has been spun
This journey with you
Has been fun all along
Even while wading through
Rights and wrongs
No matter what
You’ve always been around
Which is why
Happiness is all I’ve found
Happy anniversary

50th Anniversary Poems
Few of us are poets, but it never hurts to add a 50th anniversary poem to a a thoughtful gift. Check out our favorites below.
We got married today (number of) years before
My love for you at that time was a little immature
As we are moving forward in this busy life
I am very proud to say that you are my wife
We don’t have anything today from each other to hide
Our false egos therefore now seldom collide
Both of us have left behind our fake impressions
Because life has taught us its reality lessons
We are accepting things as they are unfolding naturally
Peace has been prevailing slowly in our small family
Let us now break all the remaining useless barriers
And just keep our focus on health and children’s careers
All pairs in this world have something very unique
So never think yourself to be comparatively weak
God gives all for which He finds them suitable
No one in this life is perfect and all capable
Our future will be nice; please do not worry
Let us just dance and enjoy our marriage anniversary
– Shishir Kumar Goel
Every year that I’m with you
Has been better than before;
It’s hard for me to even think
How I could love you more. Every year you’ve graced my life
Has been full of happiness;
I love your caring face, your voice,
Your tender, sweet caress. Every year when this day comes,
I’m filled with love and pleasure;
Happy Anniversary, Love,
My joy, my delight, my treasure.
– Joanna Fuchs
